Xiaomi is most likely to announce the Xiaomi Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro flagship phones in this month. It is speculated that the Mi 10 series may go official in the coming week. Redmi too is reportedly working on the Redmi K30 Pro flagship phone. Like the Mi 10 series, the K30 Pro will also draw power from the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform. However, the K30 Pro may not be a premium flagship device like the Mi 10 series. Yesterday, a report on XDA Developers had revealed that the Redmi K30 Pro may not be arriving with 108-megapixel camera and it could be coming with Sony IMX686 64-megapixel main shooter. Today, a tipster from China has also claimed that the Redmi K30 Pro will be sporting a quad camera setup on its back with a 64-megapixel Sony IMX686 as primary lens.
The tipster did not share any information on the configurations of the four lenses that will be sitting on the backside of the Redmi K30 Pro. The Redmi K30 that was announced in December had a circular pattern in which it featured a vertical quad camera setup. The tipster has revealed that the camera arrangement on the Pro model will be different from Redmi K30. There is a possibility that the Redmi K30 Pro may flaunt a round-shaped camera module.
There are not many details available on the Redmi K30 Pro. It is speculated that the device is codenamed as “lmi.” This codename was seen in the Redmi K30 Pro Geekbench listing that had surfaced in the last month. It had revealed that SD865 driven smartphone recorded a score of 903 in the single-core test of Geekbench. In its multi-core test, it scored 3,362 points.
The Geekbench listing further revealed that the Redmi K30 Pro is equipped with 8 GB of RAM and it is loaded with Android 10 OS. The operating system on the K30 Pro could be overlaid with the latest MIUI 11 skin. The rest of the details of the phone are currently under the wraps.
Xiaomi is expected to announce the Xiaomi Mi 10 series in China in the coming week. The Mi 10 and Mi 10 Pro phones could be priced between 3,500 Yuan (~$499) and 5,000 Yuan (~$713) whereas the Redmi K30 Pro could be costing under 3,500 Yuan. If the Redmi K30 Pro releases early in China, it may disturb the sales of the Mi 10 series. Hence, there is a possibility that the company may want to make it official by March end and make it available for purchase in April. It is advisable to wait for further reports to known on the arrival of the Redmi K30 Pro.
